That move wants to earn a tempo. It threatens 5.c3 and 6.d4 to have got predominance in the center.
But if you play white be careful to Lasker defence:
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Ac4 Ac5 4.b4 B:b4 5.c3 Aa5 6.0-0 d6 7.d4 Ab6.
or 5...Ac5 6.d4 e:d4 7.0-0 d6.
These moves should advantage black and not white!

There is a lot of theory to the Evans, more than one could cover in a post. It is interesting to compare Morphy's and Anderssen's approach to the game. Anderssen always makes a threat when he moves, if the threat involves developing a piece it's a coincident, while Morphy makes a effort to develop a piece. While Morphy also likes to make threats he places a premium on development. If you Google the Evans Gambit you can find quite a bit of theory. I believe there are some articles at chesscafe.com which you should find when you do your search.

Google youtube Evan's gambit

Message:
Youtube is good because they play out the game on a chess board rather than having to follow chess notation - but iguess it is a matter of personal preference:)

The Evans is wonderful fun, but can get very positional and boring if black declines.




Chess news:

The endgame: Has Black done the right thing? -- Schlechter-Tartakower, Karlsbad 1907. Black has just played ...g5. Is this good? RB A game from chess's romantic era, with two of my favourite chess players, both of whom – in true tragic-romantic tradition – died in poverty. Schlechter's death in 1918, of pneumonia aggravated by near-starvation at the age of 44, was particularly poignant. One of the strongest chess grandmasters before the first world war, he went into the 10th and final game of his 1910 world chess championship match with Lasker a point to the good, only to throw away a winning position. The match ended 5-5, and Lasker retained the crown. Enough history. What about the position? Tartakower has just ...

Showdown to Decide Winner of Women’s Chess Grand Prix -- The luck of the draw sets up a final round matchup on Wednesday for the title in the fifth Women’s Chess Grand Prix in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. Hou Yifan of China is the leader with 7.5 points after 10 rounds, while Antoaneta Stefanova of Bulgaria trails by only half a point. They have not faced each other yet in the chess tournament, which is a round-robin. Hou, the second seed, has played steadily throughout the tournament, winning five games and drawing five. Stefanova, the third seed and a former women’s world chess champion, has been more uneven. She has won six games, but she has lost two in addition to two draws. Humpy Koneru of India, the top seed, had a chance to keep ...

Hou Wins Fifth Women’s Chess Grand Prix -- It was a perfect final round match-up, but Antoaneta Stefanova was not able to pull off her dream finish. Stefanova, a Bulgarian chess grandmaster and former women’s world chess champion, trailed Hou Yifan of China by half a point before the last round of the fifth Women’s Grand Prix in Ulan Bator, Mongolia. The only way for Stefanova to win the chess tournament was to beat Hou. But she only drew, so Hou finished first with 8 points, while Stefanova was second with 7.5. Afterward, in an interview on the tournament’s Web site, Stefanova said of the final game, “I do not know if I could play better, maybe I did not find right moves, especially in queen endgame. I must note that my ...
